It is always exciting to see people start their walk with Christ through repentance and baptism. But it is equally exciting to see people grow and mature in their walk with Christ. Because, as Jesus’ parable of the sower shows us, not everyone who starts that journey finishes it. Some stall and never mature in their faith because they depend on checking boxes and tradition.
God has given me the opportunity to be there when many people start that journey with baptism. I am praying for you to remain faithful. If you ever need someone to talk to because you don’t have a church home, call me, message me, or whatever. Because the world is appealing, and life is hard, but only Christ offers what you really need. Don’t give up!
